Amazon is reconsidering building one of its new headquarters in New York due to local opposition, according The Washington Post reported Friday.

After a nearly year-long search, Amazon in November selected the Long Island City neighborhood of New York and the National Landing neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia, as the two sites for its East Coast headquarters. The announcement was met almost immediately with protest by some New York officials and residents who feared Amazon would take over the Queens neighborhood, drive up prices and and push out existing residents.
